In September 2007, I pounced on an extremely scarce Deckoffizier Schirmmütze offered by Helmut Weitze. The hat first appeared in this thread:

Friday, at the MAX in Monroeville, I found the perfect display accessory for the Schirmmütze.
Glenn's Kaiserliche Marine 1914-1918 page provides substantial background regarding naval warrant officers:

The shoulder straps displaying the insignia of an Obersteuermann (navigating warrant officer).
The doeskin frock is lined in black polished cotton and features an integral waistcoat. The impressive tailor's label:
The inside breast pocket contained a packet of moth repellent.
